Sleep On Needles

Dude...you guys are all wrong. Here's the deal. This girl cheated on him long ago and he took her back, wholeheartedly. He tries his best to fully trust her in the early lines like he used to: "Ask me anything you like I'll reveal everything I will treasure the truth You could know anything I am but a fool to play unaware of things If I'd treasured the truth I would tell it to you I'm coming down to tell you what I know To say what's real, to let you know Where I have been and how I had to"

Then, he starts getting suspicious again and he realizes that she's back to her old ways and she's cheating on him again:

"Am I likely to succeed with the way things are? Judging by your smile You are holding something back I'm sleepless around midnight There's a change in the wind The remembrance of things you used to hold back I come around each time your notes are high To tear you down and drag you up To let you know what's going on while I"

Those lines "I'm sleepless around midnight, there's a change in the wind." That totally shows that he's suspicious that she's doing it again....he gave his wholehearted trust (begrudgingly) to her once again and he is furious that he's having the same suspicions. This sucks for him...she cheated on him, he took her back, and she cheated on him again. :-(

AHHH! this is impossible. no one has commented on this song! well, Sondre Lerche is not as well known as he should be, because he is BRILLIANT. Kudos to Sondre Lerche, and this wonderful, beautiful song.

Sondre Lerche is a definate hottie and i cannot wait to see him in concert with Jason Mraz in August! AHHHH 2 HOTTIES IN ONE SHOW??? CRAZINESS!!

oh lord...

wow sarah wow... sondre is amazing but i think you need to take a chill pill, not everything is loks, especially in music

man.. uh.. sarah darlin... no one has said "hottie" since 7th grade, and incidentally, really, music isnt about looks... its about music... you cant see what they look like when you're listening to a cd.

if you're going for their looks, you should be ashamed, darling... simmer, it'll be okay.

great song, by the way..

additionally, the live version of this song on the "dont be shallow" ep is incredible. gotta love the man.

i love the way this song sounds when he sings it. im not the surest on what it means though. but yes i agress he is hot, i wonder when he is coming to the states to play shows?

i think it's about how he's sleepless at night thinking about a girl, feeling pain comparable to sleeping on needles, and how his love is so strong and true that he wishes to know what's real in life. It seems he wants to let her know what's going on in his life and what he feels and has to go through each and every night with her on his mind. I dunno for sure really, just my interpretation/rambling

i may be missing some hidden/deeper/esoteric meaning somewhere, any thoughts?
